The default version still is 2.0, nothing changes for those who don't want/need the new features (for example: fastestmirror, priorities and protectbase). For those who don't want to update to yum-2.4 but still use the centosplus repository, add to your /etc/yum.conf the line: exclude= yum The old metadata for yum-2.0 (yum-arch) and the new metadata for yum-2.4 (createrepo) are BOTH generated on all the CentOS-3 repositories on the centos.org mirrors. Caveat: the 3rd parties repositories using only yum-2.0 metadata will NOT be compatible with the yum-2.4 until their respective maintainers also create the new metadata. yum update procedure: 1) enable the centosplus repository in /etc/yum.conf #additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 2) update # yum update 3) fix the yum.conf file: # mv /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum.conf-2.0.x # mv /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew /etc/yum.conf 4) optionally re-add the custom repositories to /etc/yum.repos.d Cheers, The CentOS team -- Tru Huynh (CentOS-3 i386/x86_64 Package Maintenance) http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xBEFA581B

Bandwidth optimisation
by Ioannis Vranos 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. Hi, I am using CentOS 5.0 at home, ADSL ~16 Mbps/~1 Mbps Internet connection and my ping time to my ISP is 160-170 msec. When downloading something with Firefox, I am getting download speeds of about 100-180 KB/sec (for example when downloading SP2 of XP from MS server). Are the CentOS networking settings OK for this kind of latency, or do I have to change some settings? Thanks in advance.

For my DVD I use /mnt/repo I see above you have the right mount for an ISO. Then to point YUM to your media repo use #yum install SomeRPM --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media if you want to ban external access, the disablerepo token is the key. -- Mark Hi Mark, Thanks for the info, I'll put it in my hints file. =========Keith

Question regarding hardened-php
by Ray Leventhal 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hi all, Please forgive what may be an OT question: I'm considering using hardened php and am interested in any comments which may be offered regarding hardened php and CentOS5. For reference: http://www.hardened-php.net/hardening_patch.14.html Is hardened php available as an RPM from any of our fine CentOS repositories? If not, I'd feel less inclined to use it as it affects core areas of the distro. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments, ~Ray

GDM problems whe using LDAP for user id information
by carlopmart 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hi all, I have a CentOS-5 workstation configured to retrieve user id information from LDAP server and password from another kerberos server. If I setup a user entry on /etc/passwd file all works ok, user can logon on GDM and password is verifiyed via kerberos. But If I use LDAP to retrieve user information, GDM doesn't works. On the other side, I can login on console using ldap for user information. GDM returns this error on /var/log/secure: Nov 5 13:45:40 deagol gdm[2484]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): check pass; user unknown Nov 5 13:45:40 deagol gdm[2484]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= Nov 5 13:45:40 deagol gdm[2484]: pam_succeed_if(gdm:auth): error retrieving information about user testuser And on /var/log/messages: Nov 5 13:45:41 deagol gdm[2484]: Couldn't authenticate user All other services that I use with ldap (ssh for example) works ok. Somebody knows where is the problem?? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

Sendmail failing on home machine
by Peter Loron 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

I have a CentOS 5 machine at home, behind a NAT gateway. Among other things, I'm running mdadm in monitor mode to alert me to RAID failures. I want it to send messages to my main email address. Any messages I send from the home CentOS box to that email address are being rejected with this error: Deferred: 451 Could not complete sender verify callout My understanding is that the destination mail server is trying to connect back to the source email host via SMTP as an anti-spam check and is failing. My external IP is set up with a dynamic DNS entry, so I guess I could set up an MX record and actually receive mail on the home box, but I don't want to deal with the security issues or the spam. Any suggestions for allowing sendmail-dependent apps running on the home machine to be able to send mail? Thanks. -Pete

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.0 - Yum install using the install cd's as the RPM source---SOLVED

Debian based distributions are able to use the package manager to search for and install from the CD's, and I'm looking for the CentOS equivalent. Obviously, it's possible to install "manually" from a CD with: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom cd /media/cdrom/CentOS rpm -U foobar-1.2.3.-4.5.el5.i386.rpm Yum has such good dependency checking I'd like to know of a way to use it if possible. ========Keith Sorry to bother the list, I found the answer here: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CreatingUpdateMedia

by Tony 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Subject says it all- has anyone got any recommendations for rpm-packaged forum/bb software for CentOS 5 - preferrably from a repo like rpmforge or similar so it will get updates as they come through? Yes, I can install phpBB et al from scratch but I with 'yum update' it is harder for me to miss updates :-) -- Cheers, Tony
